1. Bootstrap ─

Overview

1

What is Twitter Bootstrap?

Bootstrap is a sleek, intuitive, and powerful, mobile first front-end framework for faster

and easier web development. It uses HTML, CSS, and Javascript.

Bootstrap was developed by Mark Otto and Jacob Thornton at Twitter. It was released as

an open source product in August 2011 on GitHub.

Why Use Bootstrap?

 Mobile first approach: Bootstrap 3 framework consists of Mobile first styles

throughout the entire library instead of them in separate files.

 Browser Support: It is supported by all popular browsers.

 Easy to get started: With just the knowledge of HTML and CSS anyone can get

started with Bootstrap. Also the Bootstrap official site has a good documentation.

 Responsive design: Bootstrap's responsive CSS adjusts to Desktops, Tablets

and Mobiles. More about the responsive design is in the chapter Bootstrap

Responsive Design.

 Provides a clean and uniform solution for building an interface for developers.

 It contains beautiful and functional built-in components which are easy to

customize.

 It also provides web-based customization.

 And best of all it is an open source.

What Bootstrap Package Includes?

 Scaffolding: Bootstrap provides a basic structure with Grid System, link styles,

and background. This is covered in detail in the section Bootstrap Basic

Structure.

 CSS: Bootstrap comes with the feature of global CSS settings, fundamental

HTML elements styled and enhanced with extensible classes, and an advanced

grid system. This is covered in detail in the section Bootstrap with CSS.

 Components: Bootstrap contains over a dozen reusable components built to

provide iconography, dropdowns, navigation, alerts, pop-overs, and much

more. This is covered in detail in the section Layout Components.

 JavaScript Plugins: Bootstrap contains over a dozen custom jQuery plugins.

You can easily include them all, or one by one. This is covered in details in the

section Bootstrap Plugins.

 Customize: You can customize Bootstrap's components, LESS variables, and

jQuery plugins to get your very own version.

2. Bootstrap ─ Environment

Setup

It is very easy to setup and start using Bootstrap. This chapter will explain how to

download and setup Bootstrap. We will also discuss the Bootstrap file structure, and

demonstrate its usage with an example.

DownloadBootstrap

You can download the latest version of Bootstrap from http://getbootstrap.com/. When

you click on this link, you will get to see a screen as below:

Here you can see two buttons:

Download Bootstrap: Clicking this, you can download the precompiled and minified

versions of Bootstrap CSS, JavaScript, and fonts. No documentation or original source

code files are included.

Download Source: Clicking this, you can get the latest Bootstrap LESS and

JavaScript source code directly from GitHub.

If you work with Bootstrap's uncompiled source code, you need to compile the LESS files

to produce usable CSS files. For compiling LESS files into CSS, Bootstrap officially

supports only Recess, which is Twitter's CSS hinter based on less.js.

For better understanding and ease of use, we shall use precompiled version of Bootstrap

throughout the tutorial. As the files are complied and minified, you don't have to bother

every time including separate files for individual functionality. At the time of writing this

tutorial the latest version (Bootstrap 3) was downloaded.

Filestructure

Precompiled Bootstrap

Once the compiled version Bootstrap is downloaded, extract the ZIP file, and you will see

the following file/directory structure:

3

Bootstrap

As you can see, there are compiled CSS and JS (bootstrap.*), as well as compiled and

minified CSS and JS (bootstrap.min.*). Fonts from Glyphicons are included, as it is the

optional Bootstrap theme.

Bootstrap Source Code

If you have downloaded the Bootstrap source code then the file structure would be as

follows:

 The files under less/, js/, and fonts/ are the source code for Bootstrap CSS, JS,

and icon fonts (respectively).

 The dist/ folder includes everything listed in the precompiled download section

above.

 docs-assets/, examples/, and all *.html files are Bootstrap documentation.

HTMLTemplate

A basic HTML template using Bootstrap would look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Bootstrap 101 Template</title>

Bootstrap

<!-- HTML5 Shim and Respond.js IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries

-->

<!-- WARNING: Respond.js doesn't work i f you view the page via

f i l e : / / -->

<!--[ i f l t IE 9]>

html5shiv.js"></script>

respond.min.js"></script>

<! [endif] -->

</head>

<body>

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<!-- Include a l l compiled plugins (below), or include individual f i l e s as needed

-->

</body>

</html>

Here you can see the jquery.js, bootstrap.min.js and bootstrap.min.css files that

are included to make a normal HTM file to the Bootstrapped Template. Just make sure to

include jQuery library before you include Bootstrap library.

More details about each of the elements in this above piece of code will be discussed in

the chapter Bootstrap CSS Overview.

This template structure is already included as part of the Try it (online compiler) tool.

Hence in all the examples (in the following chapters) of this tutorial you will only see the

contents of the <body> element. Once you click on the Try it option available at the top

right corner of example, and you will see the entire code.

Example

Now let's try an example using the above template. Try the following example using Try

it option available at the top right corner of the below sample code box on our website:

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

In all the subsequent chapters we have used dummy text from the site

http://www.lipsum.com/.

3. Bootstrap ─ Grid

System

In this chapter, we shall discuss the Bootstrap Grid System.

WhatisaGrid?

As put by Wikipedia:

In graphic design, a grid is a structure (usually two-dimensional) made up of a series of

intersecting straight (vertical, horizontal) lines used to structure the content. It is widely

used to design layout and content structure in print design. In web design, it is a very

effective method to create a consistent layout rapidly and effectively using HTML and

CSS.

To put in simple words, grids in web design organize and structure content, makes the

websites easy to scan and reduces the cognitive load on users.

WhatisBootstrapGridSystem?

As put by the official documentation of Bootstrap for grid system:

Bootstrap includes a responsive, mobile first fluid grid system that appropriately scales

up to 12 columns as the device or viewport size increases. It includes predefined classes

for easy layout options, as well as powerful mixins for generating more semantic layouts.

Let us understand the above statement. Bootstrap 3 is mobile first in the sense that the

code for Bootstrap now starts by targeting smaller screens like mobile devices, tablets,

and then “expands” components and grids for larger screens such as laptops, desktops.

Mobile First Strategy

 Content

o Determine what is most important.

 Layout

o Design to smaller widths first.

oBase CSS address mobile device first; media queries address for tablet,

desktops.

 Progressive Enhancement

o Add elements as screen size increases.

WorkingofBootstrapGridSystem

Grid systems are used for creating page layouts through a series of rows and columns

that house your content. Here's how the Bootstrap grid system works:

 Rows must be placed within a .container class for proper alignment and padding.

 Use rows to create horizontal groups of columns.

6

Bootstrap

 Content should be placed within the columns, and only columns may be the

immediate children of rows.

 Predefined grid classes like .row and .col-xs-4 are available for quickly making

grid layouts. LESS mixins can also be used for more semantic layouts.

 Columns create gutters (gaps between column content) via padding. That

padding is offset in rows for the first and the last column via negative margin on

.rows.

 Grid columns are created by specifying the number of twelve available columns

you wish to span. For example, three equal columns would use three .col-xs-4.

7

MediaQueries

Media query is a really fancy term for "conditional CSS rule". It simply applies some

CSS, based on certain conditions set forth. If those conditions are met, the style is

applied.

Media Queries in Bootstrap allow you to move, show and hide content based on the

viewport size. Following media queries are used in LESS files to create the key

breakpoints in the Bootstrap grid system.

/ * Extra small devices (phones, less than 768px) */

/ * No media query since this i s the default in Bootstrap */

/ * Small devices (tablet s, 768px and up) */

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) { ... }

/ * Medium devices (desktops, 992px and up) */

@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) { ... }

/ * Large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up) */

@media (min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }

Occasionally these are expanded to include a max-width to limit CSS to a narrower set of

devices.

@media (max-width: @screen-xs-max) { ... }

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) { . . . }

@media (min-width: @screen-md-min) and (max-width: @screen-md-max) { . . . }

@media(min-width: @screen-lg-min) { ... }

Media queries have two parts, a device specification and then a size rule. In the above

case, the following rule is set:

Bootstrap

8

Let us consider this line:

@media (min-width: @screen-sm-min) and (max-width: @screen-sm-max) { ... }

For all devices no matter what kind with min-width: @screen-sm-min, if the width of the

screen gets smaller than @screen-sm-max, then do something.

Basic Grid Structure

Following is basic structure of Bootstrap grid:

</div>

</div>

<div class="container">....

Let us see some simple grid examples:

Example: Stacked-to-horizontal

Let us see a simple grid example with simple layout: two columns, two paragraphs per

column. (Here styling for each column is used. You can avoid it.)

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<div class="col-md-6" style="background-color: #dedef8; box-shadow:

inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t , sed do

</p>

</div>

Details

 <div class="container">...</div> element is added to ensure proper

centering and maximum width for layout.

 Once container is added, next you need to think in terms of rows. Add <div

class="row">...</div> and columns <div class="col-md-6"></div> inside

the rows.

 Every row in the grid is made up of 12 units and you can define the desired size

of your columns using those units. In our example we have two columns each

made of 6 units wide i.e 6+6=12.

You can try some more options like:

or <div class="col-md-7"></div> and <div class="col-md-5"></div>.

Experiment and make sure that the sum always needs to be 12.

Example: Medium and Large Device

We have seen the basic grid system in ‘Example: Stacked-to-horizontal’. Here we have

used 2 divs and gave them the 50%/50% split at the medium viewport width:

But at large, your design could really be better as a 33%/66%. So what we’re going to

do is, set it up to change the column widths at the breakpoint:

Now Bootstrap is going to say “at the medium size, I look at classes with md in them

and use those. At the large size, I look at classes with the word lg in them and use

those. In this case, our 2 divs will go from a 50%/50% split and then up to a 33%/66%.

Check it out in the following example. (Here styling for each column is used. You can

avoid it.)

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<div class="col-md-6 col-lg-4" style="background-color: #dedef8;

box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t , sed do

</p>

</div>

Example: Mobile, tablet, desktops

We have seen an example for Medium and Large Device. Now let us take it to another

level, where we would want to change it for the extra small phone size as well. Say we

want to add the option for the columns to be split 75%/25% for tablets, we go like this:

Now this gives us 3 different column layouts at each point. On a phone, it will be 75% on

the left, and 25% on the right. On a tablet, it will be 50%/50% again, and on a large

viewport, it will be 33%/66%. Three different layouts for each of the three responsive

sizes. Check it out in the following example. (Here styling for each column is used. You

can avoid it.)

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

ResponsiveColumnResets

With the four tiers of grids available, you are bound to run into issues where at certain

breakpoints, the columns don't clear quite right as one is taller than the other. To fix

that, use a combination of a class .clearfix and the responsive utility classes as shown in

the following example:

<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"

style="background-color: #dedef8;

box-shadow: inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;"> <p>Lorem

ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing eli t. </p >

</div>

<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"

style="background-color: #dedef8;box-shadow:

inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t , sed do eiusmod

tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut

enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris

ni s i ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

</p>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t , sed do

eiusmod tempor incididunt ut.

</p>

</div>

<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"

style="background-color: #dedef8;

box-shadow:inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;"> <p>Ut enim ad

minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco

laboris n i s i ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. </p>

</div>

<div class="col-xs-6 col-sm-3"

style="background-color: #dedef8;box-shadow:

Bootstrap

15

inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t , sed do eiusmod

tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim

</p> </div>

</div>

Resize your viewport or check it out on your phone for a desired result of this example.

OffsetColumns

Offsets are a useful feature for more specialized layouts. They can be used to push

columns over for more spacing (for example). The .col-xs=* classes don’t support

offsets, but they are easily replicated by using an empty cell.

To use offsets on large displays, use the .col-md-offset-* classes. These classes

increase the left margin of a column by * columns where * range from 1 to 11.

In the following example, we have <div class="col-md-6">..</div>. We will center this

using class .col-md-offset-3.

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<div class="col-xs-6 col-md-offset-3"

style="background-color: #dedef8;box-shadow:

inset 1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing e l i t . </p> </div>

</div>

Bootstrap

NestingColumns

To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .row and set of .col-md-

* columns within an existing .col-md-* column. Nested rows should include a set of

columns that add up to 12.

In the following example, the layout has two columns, with the second one being split

into four boxes over two rows.

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

<div class="col-md-3" style="background-color: #dedef8;box-shadow: inset

1px -1px 1px #444, inset -1px 1px 1px #444;">

<h4>First Column</h4>

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor s i t amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.< /p> </div>

<div class="col-md-9" style="background-color: #dedef8;box-shadow: inset

<h4>Second Column- Spli t

<div class="col-md-6" style="background-color: #B18904;

ColumnOrdering

Another nice feature of Bootstrap grid system is that you can easily write the columns in

an order, and show them in another one. You can easily change the order of built-in grid

columns with .col-md-push-* and .col-md-pull-* modifier classes where * range from

1 to11.

In the following example we have two columns layout with left column being the

narrowest and acting as a sidebar. We will swap the order of these columns using .col-

md-push-* and.col-md-pull-* classes.

<h1>Hello, world!</h1>

4. Bootstrap ─ CSSOverview

19

This chapter provides an overview of the key pieces of Bootstrap's infrastructure,

including Bootstrap's approach to better, faster, stronger web development.

HTML5doctype

Bootstrap makes use of certain HTML elements and CSS properties that require the use

of the HTML5 doctype. Hence, include the below piece of code for HTML5 doctype at the

beginning of all your projects using Bootstrap.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

....

</html>

MobileFirst

Since Bootstrap 3 has been launched, Bootstrap has become ‘mobile first’. It means

mobile first styles can be found throughout the entire library instead of them in separate

files. You need to add the viewport meta tag to the <head> element, to ensure

proper rendering and touch zooming on mobile devices.

width property controls the width of the device. Setting it to device-width will make

sure that it is rendered across various devices (mobiles, desktops, tablets...) properly.

initial-scale=1.0 ensures that when loaded, your web page will be rendered at a 1:1

scale, and no zooming will be applied out of the box.

Add user-scalable=no to the content attribute, to disable zooming capabilities on

mobile devices as shown below. Users are only able to scroll and not zoom with this

change, and results in your site feeling a bit more like a native application.

initial-sc ale=1.0,

maximum-scale=1.0,

user - scalable=no" >

Normally maximum-scale=1.0 is used along with user-scalable=no. As mentioned above

user-scalable=no may give users an experience more like a native app, hence

Bootstrap doesn't recommend using this attribute.

Bootstrap

20

ResponsiveImages

Bootstrap 3 allows you to make the images responsive by adding a class .img-

responsive to the <img> tag. This class applies max-width: 100%; and height:

auto; to the image so that it scales nicely to the parent element.

TypographyandLinks

Bootstrap sets a basic global display (background), typography, and link styles:

 Basic Global display: Sets background-color: #fff; on the <body> element.

 Typography: Uses the @font-family-base, @font-size-base, and @line-height-

base attributes as the typographic base.

 Link styles: Sets the global link color via attribute @link-color and apply link

underlines only on:hover.

If you intend to use LESS code, you may find all these within scaffolding.less.

Normalize

Bootstrap uses Normalize to establish cross browser consistency.

Normalize.css is a modern, HTML5-ready alternative to CSS resets. It is a small CSS file

that provides better cross-browser consistency in the default styling of HTML elements.

Containers

Use class .container to wrap a page's content and easily center the content's as shown

below.

...

</div>

Take a look at the .container class in bootstrap.css file:

.container {

padding-right: 15px;

padding-left: 15px;

margin-right: auto;

margin-left: auto;

}

Note that, due to padding and fixed widths, containers are not nestable by default.

Bootstrap

21

Take a look at bootstrap.css file:

@media (min-width: 768px) {

.container {

width: 750px;

}

Here you can see that CSS has media-queries for containers with width. This helps for

applying responsiveness and within those the container class is modified accordingly to

render the grid system properly.

<h1>I'm

5. Bootstrap ─

Typography

22

Bootstrap uses Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, and sans-serif in its default font stack.

Using typography feature of Bootstrap you can create headings, paragraphs, lists and

other inline elements. Let see learn each one of these in the following sections.

Headings

All HTML headings (h1 to h6) are styled in Bootstrap. An example is shown below:

The above code segment with Bootstrap will produce following result:

Inline Subheadings

To add an inline subheading to any of the headings, simply add <small> around any of

the elements or add .small class and you will get smaller text in a lighter color as shown

in the example below:

Bootstrap

34

The above code segment with Bootstrap will produce the following result:

LeadBodyCopy

To add some emphasis to a paragraph, add class="lead". This will give you a larger

font size, lighter weight, and a taller line height as in the following example:

<h2>Lead Example</h2>

<p class="lead">This i s an example paragraph demonstrating the use of lead body

copy. This i s an example paragraph demonstrating the use of lead body copy.This i s

an example paragraph demonstrating the use of lead body copy.This i s an example

paragraph demonstrating the use of lead body copy.This i s an example paragraph

demonstrating the use of lead body copy.</p>

Emphasis

HTML's default emphasis tags such as <small>, sets text at 85% the size of the parent,

<strong> emphasizes a text with heavier font-weight, and <em> emphasizes a text

in italics.

Bootstrap offers a few classes that can be used to provide emphasis on texts as seen

in the following example:
